      @Subpath I don't know much about macros. Could you provide a video demo? Thank you.

      @monsterfox said in Queries Regarding VectorStyler 1.3: @VectorStyler Will a halftone effect with dot merging be added to the halftone panel in the future? In the case of the first image of this thread: The problem is not with dot merging, but with the shape of the halftone. Those halftones (first image) are created in postscript as images. So this exact case will not be added to the halftone panel. The second image from this thread might be possible, I have this in the backlog and will try to add it as soon as possible.

      @Daniel I love the ideas you've shared for the "simplify path" tool. I may end up using it a lot more as those ideas get added as @VectorStyler sees fit. I appreciate that VS has options for designers who need precise and exact edits to their curved paths and another option for those who are going for what looks good by sight for their art and are not needing something technical

      @marce Well, that's due to the smoothing algorithm of the vector tracer. I think a slightly better result could perhaps be achieved with the high-resolution version using slightly different settings for smoothing. I would have vectorized the template you created here by tracing a simple line in the middle of the contour (Corel Trace has a mode for this) and then assigning an appropriate line weight. I've created a lot of bitmap traces professionally (in digital printing). Many by hand, because the trace results were too poor. I can't recall a single instance where I would have preferred a low-resolution bitmap version if I had the choice.

      @marce said in Font Preview Size: @fde101 when making books you work with styles, is true. Not just with books, but with just about any kind of formatted content - newsletters, newspapers, etc. But when working with illustrated books, covers, children activity books, etc, Covers are a different sort of beast, and are more of an illustration project than a publishing project. Agreed that the regular use of styles for a cover is not as relevant as for the body of a publication. On the other hand, I am less inclined to agree that styles lose relevance when making "illustrated books" or "children's activity books" - there is ultimately still a level at which consistency throughout such books is perfectly relevant when creating a cohesive product and while such books are likely to contain a larger number of illustrative works (which individually might fall outside the normal use of styles) there are still elements that tie these things together for which the primary use of styles is still a good idea. font choosing is important. That is true for any kind of project in which text is involved if that project is going to be distributed. Need of design are wide and people works their way. The standardized professional way of work offenly is bypassed by creative people. True, and sometimes that is completely appropriate, other times it is bypassed to the detriment of the outcome or to the time taken to achieve it. Different projects and different situations call for different ways of working and different sets of tools. As I said in my other post: again, that is for a desktop publishing app; for a tool such as VectorStyler, it makes enough sense to offer it separately if people find such a thing useful

      @Boldline said in Add sub-categories to the repeater presets menu area?: When I go up a level and into the presets folder, I see one repeater preset listed. I don't see the default repeater presets that come with VS or the several custom presets I already created. That file contains all the current repeater presets. The default presets file is in the VectorStyler bundle (similar location), but it was copied to this file. When I look in the Window>Presets Flyout menu, I see dedicated options for brush presets, document presets, an option to open a brush preset file. I was confused why the brush presets options are listed but not the other presets, but I assume that's because users are most commonly importing brush presets? Brush presets have a separate menu command because it is quite common to use these and there are typically many of them. Other presets could have a separate panel, but then it gets too crowded with menu commands. You can drag out a section from the Presets panel into a separate panel. When I go to the presets panel, repeater brushes are not listed at all. You mentioned it might be a bug, but I have an old windows laptop I had yet to upgrade to VS1.3, so it was still using VS1.2. On that laptop, the same presets panel also lacks a repeater preset folder I will fix this

      @Boldline i correct you Its no Problem to move, lets say the group of mirrored Objects. Just push the finish Button and you could move the whole group. If you in Mirror Mode only the original Object is movable or the mirror guides. Here a Video to show it.

      @VectorStyler Maybe I changed that setting accidentally, I will try to reproduce how I made that. Maybe when setting the new document or pasting the images. I will report later

      @Li-Xiao thanks for the tip. Yes bending is actually a good idea. I found it easy to control by grouping the path and blended shapes together before applying blending shape effect. Everything stays well connected

      Playing devil's advocate a little here - what is the next logical step by the user after they click "styles>repeater>create repeater" ? You see the repeater activate, but you are unable to edit the repeater in any way and the odds are, the repeater result would need some adjustments

      @William-Kansepa , interesting I don't see a big problem with that, since it's always easy to use a kind of dummy group (without colors). Or to plan a bit in advance. Alternatively, it is always possible to use multiple mirror groups. By the way, one way I found to add more objects to a mirrored single object works by first creating a Symbol of it. Then you use that Symbol and mirror it. Afterward, you can replace that Symbol with any objects or add more by selecting the objects and using the "Replace Symbol with Selected Object" button in the Symbols panel.

      @VectorStyler said in Erratic halftone editor in 1.3.002: Yes, and this this consistent with double clicking on other tool icons. I was thinking the same behaviour as the shape effect tools. Double clicking on tool icon while a shape with effect is selected opens (or puts forward) the shape effect panel, allowing user to change the parameters. With halftone, the appearance panel could be put forward, allowing user to change halftone parameters of already created effect. The issue is with already created halftone, the user may think the dialog opened by double clicking may be used to change settings (and it does in preview), but then clicking ok undoes the changes, which is confusing.
